“…Figure 9 shows the temperature maps from the insole with 5 FBG sensors for temperature measurement during a few stages of the data recording, which shows that foot temperature rose as time passed. The real-time temperature map also displays the foot region with the most temperature in general and the regions which get heated most with time [59,60,61]. The subject under test was non-diabetic, the symmetry between the temperature heatmaps of two feet asserts that fact.…”

“…The study included 158 diabetic patients (103 men and 55 women) with DM. Convenience non-probabilistic sampling was utilized in this study since it is part of another cohort study that involves the recording of thermal images of the foot to analyze and categorize the risk of diabetic foot problems [15,16]. Patients who came to the clinic for a routine foot exam, infection, discomfort, swelling, numbness, or wound dressing in the leg or DFU were chosen.…”

“…Identifying patients who might serve as foot care education specialists would improve diabetes-related foot outcomes [37,38]. The authors reported using a non-invasive and non-contact screening technology, such as an infrared thermal image-based diagnostic system, as part of their larger investigation [15,16]. Infrared thermography and visual systems are used in remote monitoring systems to save time and travel, as documented in [39].…”

(1) Background: This cross-sectional study aims to highlight the assessment and foot care practices in an advanced clinical setting, the clinical characteristics of the patients, and to understand the barriers and facilitators for effective foot care from the perspectives of healthcare practices, resources, and patients’ socioeconomic and cultural practices, and other aspects in terms of new technologies for effective foot care such as infrared thermography. (2) Methods: Clinical test data from 158 diabetic patients and a questionnaire to assess the foot care education retention rate were collected at the Karnataka Institute of Endocrinology and Research (KIER) facility. (3) Results: Diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) were found in 6% of the examined individuals. Male patients were more likely to have diabetes complications, with an odds ratio (OR) of 1.18 (CI = 0.49–2.84). Other diabetes problems raised the likelihood of DFUs by OR 5 (CI = 1.40–17.77). The constraints include socioeconomic position, employment conditions, religious customs, time and cost, and medication non-adherence. The attitude of podiatrists and nurses, diabetic foot education, and awareness protocols and amenities at the facility were all facilitators. (4) Conclusions: Most diabetic foot complications might be avoided with foot care education, regular foot assessments as the standard of treatment, and self-care as a preventive/therapeutic strategy.

“…They showed that morphological operations combined with the Otsu thresholding performed good results in each of the image conditions, mainly in the ankle area. In a subsequent work [44], they used the same segmentation method presented in [43] for healthy foot thermograms, but they used an ACWE method for diabetic foot thermograms. In [46], a method based on a modified active contour that included prior shape information, namely an atlas of the plantar foot contour, is presented.…”

Plantar Thermogram Database for the Study of Diabetic Foot Complications

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The advances in infrared thermography during recent years have opened new possibilities for its use in medical diagnosis. The detection of complications related to diabetic foot is one of the many uses of this technology. This paper presents a new public plantar thermogram database composed of 334 plantar thermograms from 122 diabetic subjects and 45 non-diabetic subjects. Each thermogram includes four extra images with their respective temperature file, corresponding to the four plantar angiosomes. The database is expected to provide a valuable source to promote research about the potential of infrared thermography for the early diagnosis of diabetic foot problems. The work describes the plantar thermogram acquisition protocol, including the acquisition system and the proper preparation of the subject. It also presents a brief review of the techniques used in previous works for segmentation, registration and correction of feet posture.
